# Austria's .at registry says NIS2 rollout went smoothly

Austria's new NISG 2026 cybersecurity law took effect on October 1, extending EU NIS2 requirements to the .at country-code domain. Registry operator nic.at said it implemented the new rules into live operations without disruption. NIS2 is the European Union's revised network and information security directive, which imposes stricter cybersecurity obligations on domain registries and other critical service providers. The smooth transition is notable given concerns across the industry about compliance burdens tied to the directive's rollout in member states.

## in plain words

Austria brought in a new law called NISG 2026 on October 1, which applies EU cybersecurity rules to the .at domain. The company that runs .at, nic.at, says it switched over to the new rules without any problems.
